The minute hand travelled around the clock again
Another hour has passed
Sixty minutes without you here
I sit and watch
But time is ticking by.
I know you're not coming back
But I keep my phone close by
Hoping for one more text
One more "love ya kid"
One more sign that you're still here
But time is ticking by.
I keep waiting for the pain to ebb
Keep waiting for the tears to stop
Keep waiting to "get through it"
But time is ticking by.
Your grandson is so funny, so smart, so me
I want to send you all the pictures and videos
But I know I can't.
Because time has ticked by.
I'm forever grateful that you got to meet
That you held that little bundle
That we have photos together
It's all I have now
Because time has ticked by.
